During the Liga MX Pachuca-Chiapas game on Saturday a dog made it on the pitch. This is a big enclosed stadium, so not a rural stadium with one stand and a bunch of fields surrounding the other sides.
Discounting the non-league stadia that allow dogs into the match and perhaps a dog makes a break for the field from time to time (perhaps to chase the football), I remain fascinated by the ways that dogs find their way into the stadia and then on to the pitch. Anyone have any idea how this happens? It's obviously a staple of South American football (along with brawls after the 2nd leg of a tie) but I have a hard time figuring out how the dog gets in and then given all the choices of where to go, ends up at field level.
With that said, I don't want to discount non-league dogs on the pitch, so any good stories on that front are much appreciated.
EDIT: And just so the cat lovers don't feel left out, a cat decided to stroll on the pitch in minute 85 of the Pachuca-Chiapas match.
